Following is the list of top 5 small cap gainers from Thursday (Feb 24).

Here are some of the specifics on what’s causing these stocks to move and what to expect from them going forward, individually:

McGrath reported 4Q10 EPS of $0.52 (+40% y/y), which was significantly better than consensus estimates of $0.37. Rental revenue y/y growth improved for the 4th consecutive quarter to 18% in 4Q, driven primarily by Adler Tank Rentals and TRS-RenTelco, with Modular showing signs of stabilization.
